Teacher Appreciation Week 2012

May 7^th – 11^th

Teacher Appreciation Week is a time for honoring teachers and recognizing the lasting contributions they make to our lives and to the lives of our children.

This year Ms. Tiffany would like to do the following activities and gifts for our teachers.

Monday-Thursday

We encourage you to let your teachers know how much you appreciate all the great things that they do! Some ways to do this could be:

-      Send a card

-      Flowers

-      Small gifts

-      Have your child make something for them

Friday May 11^th 2012

The big celebration!

On Friday, We would like to have a breakfast and a lunch for the teachers.  Sign-up sheets will be posted for you to bring in an item of your choice. 

Each teacher will receive a special gift, if you would like to make a donation towards these gifts please mark the envelope TAW and hand it directly to Ms. Tiffany.

We will be handing out “thank you scrolls”.  These scrolls will have comments from parents and children about each teacher.  Teachers love to hear how they’ve made a difference, after all that’s why they choose this career. You can contribute to the scrolls by writing down your comments on a piece of paper and putting them into the tuition box.

Ms. Tiffany will also be setting up a scavenger hunt for the teachers with a little extra treat for them to find!

We would like to make this week extremely special for all of our dedicated, hard-working teachers.

Without your help, this week will not be possible!!!! Thank you!!
